  Stapelia Gigantea is a rare spineless succulent with 4-​angled, multi-branched stems and large star-shaped flowers. It grows up to 1 foot (30 cm) tall with a spread up to 3.3 feet (1 m) if grown in the ground. The tall green stems of this succulent are similar to a cactus, although it is actually in the milkweed family. Common names include Zulu giant, carrion plant, and toad plant.
  
  Five petal flowers are pale yellow with transverse maroon lines and fringed with hairs. The maroon lines become more closely spaced towards the center of the flower, and maroon coloration may prevail in this region. Flowers are up to 14 inches (35 cm) across and appear in the fall.
  
  Plants may be shipped bare root.
